Chapter 157 Strong Voice
"I didn't expect Liu Jingzhou to have such a descendant. It seems that Han Shi is not hopeless." Huang Chengyan looked at Liu Qi and praised.
"Ha ha, Mr. Huang is overreputed." Liu Qi arched his hand.
"Hahaha..." Sima Hui and others beside him also laughed, which could make Huang Chengyan so swell, but he rarely encountered it.
"How could this happen? What on earth did Liu Qi say that he actually made Huang Chengyan change his mind. Cai Mao, not far away, saw the two people who were competing with each other just now. In the blink of an eye, he became a friend who talked and laughed. For a moment, he couldn't figure it out.
Just now, Liu Qi didn't say it loudly when he mentioned Huang Xiang, so only a few Confucian students around him heard it, and others didn't hear it. Seeing that Liu Qi suddenly talked and laughed with Huang Chengyan, he couldn't accept it.
"Is this how Liu Qi and Huang are reconciled?"
"It's probably true. Look, those two people talk and laugh, but they still account for those things."
"Didn't you hear that Mr. Huang had killed the Huangzu family just now? It seems that General Zhengnan has won."
..................
Seeing Liu Qi and the Huang clan and the people around the reconciliation are all talking about it.
"Lord State Shepherd is arriving!" Suddenly, the ceremonial officer woke up with a loud shout. The people in the courtyard heard that Liu Biao was going to hurry back to their seats and stand and wait.
"My father is coming, so I'll say goodbye first. I'll come and have a drink with several gentlemen at the banquet later." Liu Qi arched his hands to Huang Chengyan and others.
"Please take care of yourself. I'll wait for a few people here to congratulate you first." Huang Chengyan and others said with a smile.
Liu Qi took Wang Yi and Gan Ning to the seat. Behind him, Yi Ji smiled at several people and followed Liu Qi away.
"Ha ha, but I haven't seen Chengyan eat for a long time." As soon as Liu Qi left, Sima Hui said with a smile.
"That's right. I didn't think we could make him admit defeat together, but I didn't expect Liu Qi to admit defeat in just a few words today." Pang Degong also laughed.
Huang Chengyan waved his hand and said, "I didn't expect that I would spend my whole life, but I was caught by Liu Qi."
As soon as Liu Qi and others returned to their seats, they saw Liu Biao smiling in a brocade suit and came in surrounded by more than a dozen flying tiger guards.
After sitting down, Liu Qi waved his hand to make everyone sit down and looked at them with a smile. When Liu Biao saw Liu Qi, he was full of joy and nodded to Liu Qi with admiration.
Seeing Liu Biao like this, the officials below were also secretly shocked. Liu Cong clenched his hands and looked gloomy. Just now, Liu Biao did not send someone to call him, and he faintly realized that he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Yi Ji, Li Kui and other Liu Qi's officials all looked happy, while the officials of Cai's family looked sad.
"It seems that Liu Qi will control Jingzhou after Liu Jingzhou." On the other side, Sima Hui said expectantly.
"Ha ha, with Liu Qi's ability, even if Liu Chong has the support of the Cai family, he is not an opponent. I really look forward to what will happen to Jingzhou when Liu Qi is the lord of Jingzhou." Pang Degong beside him also smiled.
"I'm afraid it's inevitable to fight between dragons and tigers. This world is already the world of young people." Huang Chengyan looked at Liu Qi.
"Hehe..." Song Zhongzi smiled and didn't say anything. As his identity, it was not suitable to express his opinion on this matter.
"Today is the reception for General Zhengnan. Congratulations to General Zhengnan's triumphant return and win in Jingzhou for more than ten years. Everyone already knows that I won't mention this matter. Today, we don't talk about business, just for Qier. As for the reward, we will wait until tomorrow." Looking at Liu Biao with a smile on his face, his face was full of pride and relief.
"This..."
Everyone originally thought that Liu Biao would take this opportunity to reward Liu Qi and deploy everyone, but they didn't expect it to be like this. The whole banquet was to catch up for Liu Qi. Isn't this the whole Xiangyang official coming to welcome Liu Qi's return? It is hard to imagine what kind of situation Liu Qi's reputation will be after today.
Liu Biao has raised the reputation of Liu Qi so loudly that everyone has vaguely felt that Liu Qi is already the lord of Jingzhou in Liu Biao's heart. At this time, everyone figured out why Liu Cong, who had been around Liu Biao, appeared alone at the banquet, and why Mrs. Cai, who had been favored by Liu Biaorong, did not appear at the banquet.
"It seems that there is no doubt that the eldest son will become the next lord of Jingzhou." Various phenomena show that Liu Biao has determined that Liu Qi is the heir.
This is the hundreds of officials in the whole yard who are thinking about their minds and secretly plan for their future. Officials who are already wavering from left to right glance at Liu Qi from time to time, thinking about whether they will have a good relationship with Liu Qi at the banquet for a while. And Liu Qi's officials also put down the big stone in his heart and secretly congratulated that he had made the right choice.
"Hmm?" Cai Mao raised his head and looked at Liu Biao doubtfully, and his heart sank. Liu's move was so unexpected that he had not discussed it with anyone before, which caught him off guard.
"I don't care, no matter what Liu Biao thinks, as long as you kill Liu Qi, everything will be solved. It depends on how you end." As the head of the family, Cai Mao made a decision in an instant. If you kill Liu Qi, Liu Cong will become the best choice for the lord of Jingzhou. Although Liu Cong is smart, he is still small and easy to control. At that time, Jingzhou will not be the world of the Cai family.
"How did the marquis suddenly decide this matter? It seems that my Kwaishi family also has to make a good plan." Hearing Liu Biao's words, Kuai Yue beside Cai Mao narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. He turned his head and looked at the silent Cai Mao. Kuai Yue quickly thought about the way out of the Kuai family.
Not only are they confused, but even Liu Qi is shocked at this time. Since the rebirth, Liu Biao's attitude towards him has been vague. Even Liu Qi can't understand what Liu Biao thought in his heart. Today, Liu Biao's attitude suddenly changed greatly and expressed his attitude in front of everyone, which really puzzled Liu Qi.
Irrespecting Wang Yi, Gan Ning and others' faces were full of excitement. Liu Qi lowered his head and waited for Liu Biao's follow-up. At this time, he did not dare to be careless at all. With Liu Biao's suspicious personality, he might be testing himself.
"If only the military division were here." Liu Qi thought of Xu Shu in his heart. If Xu Shu was here, he would definitely be able to guess Liu Biao's intention.
"Wake!" Liu Biao shouted at the maid behind him. As soon as Liu Biao finished speaking, the maid behind him hurried forward and filled Liu Biao's glass with wine.
"This first glass of wine, congratulations to General Zhengnan on calming down the rebellion in three days, killing the rebels Zhang Xian and his son to return them to Jingzhou to settle down." Liu Biao picked up the glass and stood up. After saying that, Liu Biao saw the maid beside him pouring a glass of wine and respectfully sent it to Liu Qi.
"Congratulations to General Zhengnan for killing the rebels and returning Jingzhou to peace." As soon as Liu Biao finished speaking, the officials below raised their wine glasses and turned to Liu Qi.
Seeing everyone like this, although he couldn't figure out Liu Biao's intention, Liu Qi still picked up his glass and said loudly, "Qi took Changsha's dead and injured soldiers to thank his father and all of you."
"Do it!" Liu Qi drank all the wine in his hand.
"Good!" Liu Biao also drank all the wine in his hand with admiration, and then the others did the same.
Liu Biao put the glass to the side, and a maid poured wine for him. Liu Biao held the glass here without looking at it and said, "This second glass of wine, I wish General Zhengnan bravely kills the enemy, resists the attack of the Jiangdong army, defeats Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, kills Jiangdong generals, and fights the enemy outside his home, so that Jiangdong army no longer dares to underestimate me. Jingzhou."
Liu Biao originally increased Liu Qi's prestige and asked him to fight against the Cai family. However, at this time, even he felt that Liu Qi had done a good job. When he led Jingzhou, he fought back after being bullied. Whether it was killing Sun Jian or Zhang Ji, he was forced to Xiangyang to fight back and kill them. How could he directly kill Jiangdong and kill Jiangdong generals like Liu Qi? Jiangdong's rampage and returned safely, which not only caused Jiangdong's morale to plummet, but also caused Jiangdong to suffer heavy losses. What's more, it even directly occupied the territory of Jiangdong. What's the difference between this and the expansion of territory?
And he has been the herdsman of Jingzhou for more than ten years. Not only has he not opened the territory and expansion, but even Nanyang County, the original capital of Jingzhou, has not been recovered. Compared with Liu Qi, he is really a little worse. Liu Biao's eyes softened when he looked at Liu Qi. He asked his son to do what he couldn't do. Although he was suspicious, he was not pregnant yet. I suspect my son, especially Liu Qi, who is quite similar to him.
"Congratulations to General Zhengnan on resisting the enemy abroad and the military power of Yangjingzhou."
With Liu Biao's words, everyone toasted Liu Qi again, and they were more sure that Liu Qi was the future lord of Jingzhou.
"What on earth is Liu Biao doing? Even if he wants to appoint Liu Qi as his heir, he doesn't have to be so grand."
Cai Mao, Kai Yue, Yi Ji and others below have noticed the strangeness at this time, and Huang Chengyan and others also looked at Liu Biao with a strange face, which did not understand Liu Biao's intention.
Seeing the strange expressions of everyone, Liu Biao smiled and didn't say anything. He just wanted to support Liu Qi to fight against the Cai family. Over the years, he and the Cai family have been at peace with each other. At this time, how could he suddenly deal with the Cai people? How could he guess his intention?
"Thank you, father." Liu Qi took the wine glass handed over by the maid and drank it all. Although he did not know Liu Biao's intention, Liu Qi held the military power in his hand and controlled Changsha at this time. The worst thing was to rush out of Xiangyang and fight the world by himself. Although it was a little difficult without Liu Biao's help, he was confident.
"My son is good at drinking!" After saying that, Liu Biao had raised the third glass of wine and said, "This third glass of wine, I wish General Zhengnan a safe return across the river."
Since it is for Liu Qi's strong voice, it will be enough at once. Liu Biao said secretly in his heart.
"What the hell is my father going to do?" Seeing that Liu Biao raised his glass again, Liu Cong clenched his fists and stared at Liu Biao's eyes full of panic with anger.
